The Rock And Hole of Marriage. The ubiety of duality cuts across the landscape of human endeavors. Life has a way of dishing it out in twos. Man and woman. Boy and girl. Husband and wife. Heaven and earth. Light and darkness. Life and death. I could go on and on.

In the same vein, there are two coordinates I want to establish this morning with their significance and application. 

The Rock And Hole of Marriage.

Let’s take a look at scripture. 

Isa 51:1 (KJV) Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

We are exhorted to look at two things; the rock and the hole. 

In our relationship or marriages, you are dealing with two dimensions in your spouse or lover if you are not yet wedded.

Your spouse or lover is a product of rock and hole. 

The rock is that which you look up to. The scripture says that rock is Christ. 

Look unto Jesus, constantly and continuously beholding His word. 

In your relationship or marriage, that rock must be your motivation, allowing it to draw you and pull you closer to God. The closer you and your spouse or lover yield to that rock, the more you experience God, and the more you are established as a rock.

But then, we are told to look at the hole as well. The hole from which we are dug. 

The hole represents that past where you came from. The mess from which your message emanated. The hole is that which you were delivered from. It is the snare that has been broken, and from which your soul has escaped. It is the past bondage that held you by the jugular, that the power of Christ, the rock pulled you from.

Why look at the hole? I can understand looking at the rock, it’s positive, and it presents a picture of progress. But the hole?

Well, looking at the hole is to usher you into perpetual gratitude, to have an overwhelming heart of thanksgiving to God for where he dug you from.

You could have died in that hole, but He brought you out and made you whole! Glory to God.

Looking unto the rock keeps you fired up and productive. Looking unto the hole keeps you humble and filled with thanksgiving.

These two dimensions, when engaged, keep you in your marriage and relationship. The Rock And Hole of Marriage.

May God grant you more understanding.

Have a great Sunday and be blessed.
